Merle Norman is a popular brand in the States but also has a few stores in Dubai as well. I'm always up for things I haven't tried before so when the opportunity presented itself to try out their beauty treatments I took it!
The treatments take place in treatments rooms at the back of the store, so don't expect to walk-in into a Spa-like environment. I booked my appointment with the store in Festival City Centre Mall.

The shop is well kept and as I approached the cashier's desk to let them know about my appointment the lady greeted me politely and showed me where I could wait for the therapist. Once she arrived a couple of minutes later, she asked a few questions about my life style and skin. We discussed my type of skin for about 10 minutes and when we agreed with what results I'd like to achieve she showed me to the therapy room. I received a very relaxing and thorough facial cleansing. One of the best I've had in facts and being honest I didn't quite expect it, not from a place who isn't exactly categorized as "Spa." After the cleansing she applied a mask on my face to deeply nourish and hydrate my skin and finally the moisturizer.
The therapist made note of all the products used for my future reference, which was handy and unfortunately not often is done, thing that I disagree because if you have a great experience and you like the products you should be able to buy them for home use.
Once the facial was finished, I was offered a hot beverage and told to take my time, thing that I appreciated because it prolonged the feeling of deep relaxation I was in.
I came out after 10 to 15 minutes and I went into another room for a manicure and pedicure. These were also done well, the only problem was that there was only one person doing both so took twice as long.
I was given a bag with several samples to try out and of course the ladies were keen in telling more about the products so I'd buy some. I was very pleased with the fresh and hydrated feeling of my skin which lasted for a few days and I purchased the Moisture rich facial treatment mask, which has proven to be excellent and ideal for my type of skin.
It can be applied it for even just 15 minutes before going out or putting make-up on and your skin will feel completely refreshed and moisturized.
